The New Haveners
"Ex Obscuris Lux" - "From Darkness, Light"
History:
New Haven was founded By Eden Mayhew as a safe place for her fellows teens and children. Based out of the western most wing of the local Southwest harbor High School it serves as the last beacon of light for the area, or what's left of it anyway. Having taken up the role as leader for the time she made strides to fortify the High School and gathering anyone she could find in the area within the ages of six and seventeen, All are welcome but protecting the youth is the main goal. Gathering a small amount of members they were soon approached by a woman by the name Of Serina, Weary at first due to her lack of a hand she soon proved herself to the members and began guiding them, Like Eden she had the interests of the children and teens at heart, wanting to redeem herself for the fate of her younger sister she dedicated herself to giving the teens the skills to survive, Using Serina's medical background as a basis for the name and motto New Haven uses an edited medical sign as their symbol, the main spike being replaced with a rifle. Their motto is and will always be 'Ex Obscuris Lux.' - From the Darkness, There is always Light.
Organization
Keeping with Serina's experiences with the members of Bar Harbor and the things Josephine had told her about the Search and Rescue group she had been a part of New Haven is structured according to the democratic system, Every major decision is brought up with the members over the age of 16 and a vote is held. If I vote is a tie Serina casts the deciding vote. The group it's self is split into five groups, all of which determined by a members skills. These groups are Denoted by coloured Scarfs.
Tan - fighter (Ones that are proficient with their weapons and know-how to deal with the dead as well as people if needed)
Gold - Scout
Green - Medic
Grey - Hunter/scavenger
None - child/general settlement operations
Weapons:
Having raided a nearby military base upon Serina's arrival New Haven are geared with a decent number of Weaponry ranging from Assault Rifles to a few Sniper Rifles.

Goal:
The goals of New Haven are two fold, first and foremost their goal is to find those in need, give them a safe place to live, a safe place to grow and find who they are. The second, and larger goal however is to reunite Maine and possibly more. This is a goal set forth by Eden and one that Serina found very admirable. While she was sure that her past with Bar Harbor would lead to a bumpy beginning if they were ever to start relations again, she stays hopeful, for the kids. That they'll be able to find common ground. But first they need to get things rolling, By the end they hope to return a sense of normality to the world, a sense of hope. To this end they push. Day by day, mile by mile. Never stopping.
